you may find some of your old games don't work...but it's tradeoff to play the new stuff.

Actually they can/will work on XP.
If they dont work by simply istalling them then you can use XP's compatibility feature.
- "Right click" the .exe file that starts th game/prog and go to "properties"
- Choose the appropriate settings on the "compatibility" tab

the compatbility mode is crap. it doesn't work many times and you lose a lot of functionality so your old games or applications don't run like they are supposed to fully. but who still plays games or runs software that old?

XP for me.
I am not bothered if older games don't work.
In fact I am happy that they don't.
Who would like to add 8GB HDD to P4 3.2 GHZ
